Today, PokerStars has unveiled a brand new feature that is unique in the online poker world, home games.
Home games allow players to create their own poker club and invite their friends, family and whoever they choose. The leader of the club will then be able to arrange any games that they choose, including No Limit Hold’em, Limit Hold’em, Omaha, Stud and any of the other poker variants available at PokerStars.com. Players will also be able to choose to make a tournament or a cash game, and will be able to choose the buy-in of the tournament (e.g. $5 + $0.50) or the stakes of the cash game (e.g. $0.10/$0.25). You will also be able to play these games with play money (i.e. they are free).
This really does grant players the ultimate control in what games they want to play, with who they want.
In-order to start making your homegames, you need to make sure you and your friends enter the PokerStars marketing code: “psp15025” when making a new account.
